Harvard University’s President Claudine Gay, who should have been firmly shown the door, will unfortunately keep her job despite her disastrous and harmful testimony before Congress last week. In a shocking turn of events, the Harvard Corporation inexplicably decided to offer their support for Gay’s continued leadership, ignoring the damage and pain caused by her reprehensible actions.
Members of the Harvard Corporation, apparently blind to the gravity of the situation, wrote a letter affirming their support for Gay and expressing their confidence in her ability to lead the university through these tumultuous times. Seriously, what kind of alternate reality are these folks living in to see Gay as the right person to “help our community heal”? It’s mind-boggling!

Even worse, instead of facing any consequences for her abhorrent behavior, Gay has managed to emerge unscathed and without any punishment for the rampant plagiarism discovered in her academic work. Can you believe that? If any other regular person had been caught plagiarizing, there would be serious repercussions, but not for President Gay, it seems.
Let’s not forget the lack of action from Harvard University in response to the horrifying calls for the genocide of Jews. Despite the urgent need for a strong condemnation and proactive measures to protect Jewish students, there have been absolutely no updates to Harvard’s code of conduct addressing this issue. The only update they made was to allow plagiarists like President Gay to continue leading the institution, which is just unbelievable.
To add insult to injury, Gay has been shamelessly asking for corrections to be made to her published articles to address the plagiarism she was caught red-handed in. The fact that she is making excuses and requesting corrections after being called out for her plagiarism is downright audacious and shows a blatant lack of accountability.
Meanwhile, at Penn, President Liz Magill resigned from her position after giving the same reprehensible testimony as Gay, yet she will still be remaining as a professor at the law school. It seems like these universities are just sweeping these issues under the rug and hoping no one will notice, but the American people see right through this charade.
It’s clear that the elite and privileged are looking out for each other, protecting their own regardless of the harm they cause or the ethical standards they violate. This is yet another example of the double standard in play, and the American people deserve better than this blatant disregard for accountability and integrity.
